It took at least two years to finalise technical and manufacturing measures since the decision was taken by KCR to erect the statue of Ambedkar. KCR had earlier praised the sculptor, 98-years-old Ram Vanji Sutar, for making such a big effort. (Image: Twitter)
Arrangements were made to ensure that over 35,000 people from all 119 constituencies attend the Ambedkar statue unveiling meeting with 300 people from each constituency. As many as 750 state-run Road Transport Corporation buses were operated for the public. (Image: Twitter)
